Letter from Africa

by Jeremy Sherr

Dear friends,

I am
writing this letter from Tanzania,
Africa. It is hot today, perhaps 38C, but the
morning was cool and crisp, and the Kilimanjaro had a fresh coat of snow to
decorate its curves. As usual, there is no water or electricity but you get
used to that.

At clinic,
this morning, we saw a case of syphilis. Not the theoretical syphilitic miasm
but a lady with huge ulcers on her legs, each 5-7 cm in size, and extremely
painful. She described it as a ‘living hell’; she said that AIDS would have
been preferable. The ulcers started 18 years ago when she had syphilis. She was
discharging pus and blood, which was quickly suppressed with an unknown drug.
The pain and ulcers then spread to her legs, where they remain. The smell of the
ulcers was so putrid and offensive it permeated the whole room – we had to hold
our noses. I remembered Kent
talking of the mercurial odours that every doctor used to smell. I never
thought I would, but here in Africa you see
everything: AIDS, syphilis, leprosy, scrofula, TB... But let me go back to the beginning.

I moved to Tanzania on 17
November 2008. Three months later, Camilla and our three small children
followed. This was the beginning of a new chapter in our life, our mission to
treat AIDS in Africa with classical
homoeopathy. At the time, we had no idea where we would live, how to open new
clinics, and what obstacles would stand in our way. In many ways, we were naïve
but that was probably a good thing.

Our journey
actually begun 10 years earlier. I dreamt about doing this for many years. In
my post-graduate course, The Dynamis School, I often teach the philosophy and
technique of treating epidemics and miasms. Yet, I was well aware that a lot of
this knowledge was based on theory, and although I had experienced many minor
epidemics, such as childhood diseases or influenza, I wanted, as a professional,
to face the challenge of treating a bigger totality, a large group of people
suffering from a collective malady, in other words, a miasm (Par 103).

More
importantly, I had treated several AIDS cases in the west and I had seen what
homoeopathy can do. Homoeopathy is particularly efficient in AIDS because it
boosts the immune system. With an estimated 28 million people in Africa suffering from the disease, my wife and I felt it
was our duty, as well as our privilege, to do what we can to help. I was born
in Africa, as were my parents and
grandparents, so in a way I was coming back home.

My initial
plan had been to concentrate on research. I wanted a watertight, ethical
research that could show the world what homoeopathy can achieve in AIDS. My
colleague Tina Quirk and I spent ten years writing protocols, looking for
academic partners and applying for funds. Sadly, all we got for our efforts was
repeated disappointment. We discovered that there is plenty of money for AIDS
and for Africa, but none for homoeopathy. From
Bill Gates to UNESCO, VIPs to charitable organisations, the usual response was:
“Sorry we’re not at home and don’t bother calling again.” Even the homoeopathic
research organisations are looking for more ‘interesting’ projects. Finally, we
realised that with or without funding or research opportunities, it was time to
just get up and do it. So we did. Fortunately, I have a very brave homoeopathic
wife.

Two years
later, we have no regrets. It has been an amazing journey of fulfilment,
miracles, frustrations, obstacles, politics, warfare, discovery, and ultimately
success. Today, we have ten rural clinics, we have treated 1200 patients, I
work at the local hospital, patients are flocking to the clinics and demanding
more homoeopathy, doctors are asking about what we are doing. We know African
AIDS as well as one knows a good friend and we have honed in on most of the
epidemic remedies. In truth, treating AIDS with classical homoeopathy is the
easiest part of our life today; there is no shortage of miracle results on a
daily basis. Our success rate is somewhere between 90-95% in substantially reducing symptoms and alleviating side effects.

One of the
questions we often get asked by visiting homoeopaths is why do African patients
respond so well. This is indeed surprising; the results are so much quicker
than in the west. Patients often come back within 1-2 weeks with a total
alleviation of symptoms, more energy, better appetite, increased weight and a big
smile on their faces. Malaria cases are usually better within a day or two. We
have no single answer to this. The people here are perhaps more connected to
their energy, to the earth, to their bodies or perhaps, there have been fewer generations
of allopathic suppression, though it is certainly present now, or it is our
western ‘mind-based’ homoeopaths and patients which are an obstacle to rapid
recovery. Whatever the case, homoeopathic results in Africa
are rapid, gentle, and at least two years permanent. This is the source of our
satisfaction and perseverance.

Patients in
Africa seem to respond to a wide variety of
remedies. Hence the variety of homoeopathic approaches, ranging from classical
to combinations, unproved remedies, and radionics all seem to work well. We
have all seen this in the West but the phenomena of ‘first potency working’ is
much more apparent here. Even when we had some inexperienced volunteers working
in the project, they did reasonably well too.

The real
issue at hand, however, is tracking the case into the second and third
prescription, finding those remedies that penetrate deeply into the core issues
of the epidemic, searching for its roots rather than simply treating the branches.
We seek to touch the collective core of this malady. While many remedies will
spark an immediate curative impulse, the more precise the remedy, the deeper
and more profound its action will be, the longer it will last and the more we
will be able to understand what is really happening here.

You may ask
why we are adamant about classical homoeopathy, when there are other ‘methods’ that
are successfully treating AIDS in Africa.
First of all, because it is amazingly efficient. I have no doubt that other
methods are also achieving very good results but we are classical homoeopaths.
This is our chosen path, for philosophical and practical reasons. We like to
prove remedies and understand them. We like to perceive the disease, to
individualise, to test our choice of prescription, to potentise our perception,
to learn, to grow and to follow our individual journey towards the bigger
totality. Classical homoeopathy is not just a therapy, the giving of potentised
remedies. It is a way of life.

This is
just our personal choice. We respect anyone who comes out here and helps people
with natural or potentised remedies. God knows there is more need than any one
person or method can supply. We have excellent connections with several
projects in Africa, including Dar es Salaam in
south-east Tanzania, Swaziland, Kenya,
Ghana, Botswana and South Africa. We support each
other: one family with a common mission.

You asked
about our day. We usually start by looking all over town for Roger the Rasta
translator, then travel to our various clinics; some slums, some rural. We load
and unload the remedy box, sit under a tree or in a tiny ‘sauna clinic’, or
visit patients at home when they are too sick to come. Transport is a problem.
At the moment, we only have one car, so our driver spends much of the day
driving between clinics, home visits, and school pickups.

While our
own house is comfortable, we have got used to long periods without electricity
or water. We accept the mosquito bites, there is no other way. Once in a while,
I travel to the west to see patients, teach or raise funds for the project, but
really we are here full-time. Camilla has hardly left since we arrived and has
built up a large number of clinics and patients. She works in the slums and
does home visits, while I travel to further villages or the hospital.

We have had
several volunteers visiting for two week sitting-ins or a couple of months
clinical work. They stay in our ‘five-star Hahnemann house’. Our kids go to the
international school and are enjoying the experience. The biggest obstacles to
our project are a lack of funds, bureaucracy, allopathic enemies, and a population
here that feels it has a duty to relieve us of any money we have left. To them
we are all Bill Gates and they are experts at siphoning off mazungu (white
people) money. There is no way around this.

Opening a
clinic is not difficult, there is no shortage of AIDS here. The word of our successes
has now spread far and wide, and village leaders are constantly asking us to
see the many PLWHA (people living with HIV AIDS) in their area. Doctors and
hospitals are surprised, interested, and territorial. As for volunteers, short-term
visits are educational but to expand the project we need long-term
practitioners, which means we must expand our infrastructure. This takes fund
raising and organisation, both things I can do but I am personally not fond of.
We have begun training local Tanzanians and have arranged full time
homoeopathic studies for two students.

Cases here are
very different from those we were previously used to. There are no modalities,
no strange, rare and peculiar symptoms, and hardly any mentals. The main
emotional symptoms are repeating themes of: “I am hungry,” “no money to eat,” “can’t
pay school fees,” and “what will happen to the kids when I die?” All tragic,
all common. We all agree that after so many years of hearing over-emphasised
mental-emotional cases, having cases without the mental-emotional obsession is
a great relief. Simple, straightforward,
easy and difficult, these cases are one-sided and impossible to penetrate
without the two God-given tools that see us through: the first being the slowly
evolving genus epidemicus, of which I will talk later, the other being the
dreams.

Whenever we
ask a patient about dreams, a smile of satisfaction and recognition spreads
over their face. “This Doctor knows where to look!” Africa
lives in a dream. Its roots are in the dark world of mystery and magic. By
interpreting the dream and combining its understanding with our perception of
the totality, we can penetrate the case and find a remedy. By now, we can more
or less diagnose whether the patient is HIV-positive or taking ARV medication simply
by the dreams.

Our system
is based on Boenninghausen methodology. We take large general rubrics to form a
totality, then look for the cherry on the cake to individualise the remedy. We
are very grateful to have my Repertory of Mental Qualities, a Boenninghausen-style
repertory of mental-emotional themes. We use rubrics like ‘Money’, ‘Victim’, ‘Water’ or ‘Snakes’ on a daily basis. Another software
I developed, the Dynamic Case Taker, has also been extremely useful to us in
collating, finding, storing, and sharing cases.

You asked
about potency. 90% of the time, we are using the 12C daily. This is due to
several reasons. AIDS is a serious pathology and there are many obstacles to
cure. The local people would not relate to a single dose, worse, they might
think it is witchcraft. Furthermore, we do not have a lot of remedies, so we
find it best to stock one potency of each remedy. Several homoeopathic
pharmacies have been very kind in donating remedies: Helios in the UK, Cemon of Italy, Neot Shoshanim of Israel, Hahnemann Labs and Hylands in the USA.

Poverty breeds AIDS and AIDS breeds poverty.
This is part of its psoric root. Most of the patients we see are widows. Due to
poverty and lack of resources, the husbands travel to work in far-away cities,
staying for periods of six months to a year. While there, they sleep with
prostitutes, usually young girls who must ‘work’ to survive. When they come
back for Christmas, they infect two or three local women. The men are less
likely to test for AIDS because stigma is a killer. They would rather die than let
people know they have AIDS, so they do. When the husband dies, everyone knows
his wife is infected, so of course it is ‘her fault’. The husband’s family take
all her possessions away, claiming she put an evil eye on him. She is left with
four kids, two of whom might be positive, no house, no income, and too weak to
work. These AIDS widows are our patients.

In this
situation, energy is the key to survival. If a woman is too weak from the
disease, she cannot work in the field, which is hot and difficult work. As a
result, the mother and child will die or be left to the mercy of one of the many
corrupt orphanages. So, when patients come back after a week with “much better
energy”, it is a life saver.

Once the
patients are well enough to work, the problem of where to leave the kids
remains. Because of the stigma no one will help; the extended family, which
worked for millennia is shattered. When Camilla went on a home visit and found
a three year-old looking after a one year-old she decided to use our clinic as
a day care centre for the children of AIDS widows. We now have twenty-five kids
to whom we give two good meals a day and an education they would never otherwise
have been able to afford. We also run nutrition projects and provide free spectacles,
contributions from homoeopaths in the west. Homoeopathy must remove obstacles
to cure or cure will not be permanent.

Research
and data collection were, after all, and still are part of our primary aims. As
yet, it remains a dream, a goal to be attained should we be lucky. Let me start
with data collection, which is the key to getting research funds.

At this
point, I will clarify that one cannot claim to cure AIDS for several reasons.
First of all, there is no such terminology in conventional medicine, it just
does not exist. I could hypothesise that if a patient were symptom-free and virus-free
for five years that might prove the point. While we have two years of follow-ups
in many cases and patients that have remained asymptomatic for this period,
this is just anecdotal evidence.

The
conventional standard test for AIDS is the CD4 count, the amount of immune
cells in the blood. We have found this test to be a fairly poor indicator; a
view shared by many allopathic doctors. It is imprecise and, more importantly,
shows only the quantity of CD4 cells but not their quality. We often find that
the CD4 count drops after a good remedy, although the patients report feeling
much better. A couple of months later, it begins to rise, and after three to
twelve months, many cases show an incredible increase in CD4. The metaphor I
use to explain this is that CD4 cells are like soldiers. The test counts the
number of soldiers but does not tell you how many of them have no arms or legs;
in other words, are ineffective. After the homoeopathic remedy, the sick cells
die off while the healthy ones slowly begin to thrive and multiply.

While AIDs
patients in the west have a CD4 test once a month, in the villages, where we
work, people usually have one once or twice a year. The hospital is far away,
transport is expensive, and when they do test, the hospital often neglects to
write down the results. The patients regularly forget to bring their test
scores to us. To collect data properly one would need to work in a hospital.
The good news is that after two years of fighting for the appropriate permits,
I now work in a hospital. So, the possibilities are there but time moves slowly
in Africa and one must learn to be patient.

The viral
load (HIV count) test is another matter. This seems to respond well and
efficiently, but we cannot be sure. The test for viral load is very expensive,
around 80 US
dollars. There is no way hospitals and local authorities can afford this and
therefore it is very rarely done (in the west, most AIDS patients have viral
load tests on a regular basis). Of the few cases in which our patients have had
the viral load test, several have had the surprising result ‘no virus
detected’. This is pretty amazing and has puzzled the doctors. The normal justification,
however, is that the virus is simply undetectable and hiding in the marrow,
brain or liver. Nevertheless in the long term, such results could prove conclusive.
I wish we could afford that kind of test in our data collection or research,
but without funds for long-term research there is not much we can prove.
Anecdotal evidence impresses no one.

As to
research, one needs to show some data first. While there are some minor
homoeopathic AIDS trials, they are generally considered to be poorly planned
and hence meaningless by the industry. No prior research equals no funds and no
funds equals no serious research. This is the ‘Catch 22’ of homoeopathic
research. Behind that, however, lies the deeper truth that most institutions
are afraid to associate themselves with homoeopathy. Even if we got funds, we
would need to apply for ethical approval. This could take up to two years and
you need, of course, to find an academic partner. One must also be careful not
to expose any plans too early because homoeopathy’s enemies will and do try to
prevent any research.

Not all is
bleak, however. I am working together with other African projects on AIDS
research and these are moving forwards. Research will happen and homoeopathy
will prove itself, it is just painfully slow. In terms of proving homoeopathy
to the world, however, I have come to believe that research is not the most
important tool, it is media, but we persevere on all fronts.

My personal
research is in finding a genus epidemicus and making it simple to use, so that
we can spread it throughout Africa. It would
be convenient to seek a single remedy for AIDS. Sometimes, I fantasise about
it, about a combination remedy, or a single best-choice remedy. I am sure that
it could be fairly efficient and certainly easier to distribute. I would be a
liar if I told you these thoughts had not crossed my mind but this is not the
spirit of homoeopathy, nor does it follow the doctrine of treating epidemics
with homoeopathy. While we begin with the collective, the large point of view that
has a single energetic distortion at its core, this source shines through the
spectrum of many individual susceptibilities, and we must respect and address these
individual tendencies. Hence a genus is never a single remedy. As in a proving,
epidemic disease is a collective totality emanating from one source but
composed of different individual stories. Hence Hahnemann advocates several
remedies for each epidemic, and these will be subject to change with respect to
time and location. One very interesting phenomenon is how the remedies tend to vary
from village to village.

My vision
is to create a basic and simple repertory and remedy kit that can be
distributed and easily taught to local health providers. This needs careful
study and we try to avoid hasty conclusions. We have now identified about 20
remedies that fit the local genus of AIDS. Whether they work in other regions
and countries still remains to be seen. We believe in freedom of information and
transparency. I plan to publish a full list of remedies later this year once I
feel confident that it is a good beginning to the process. To achieve this I
need to work in the hospital a bit longer, where the quantity, intensity and
severity of cases is greater, and where we have access to tests. However on
this happy occasion I am attaching another article with a preliminary list of
remedies.

The
remedies are mainly psoric and tubercular as suited to the AIDS miasm. They
include some classical polychrests, some new provings and a few odd balls that
we found along the way. The list includes quite a few of my own provings, which
may either be due to my knowledge and preference for them, or to divine
synchronicity that led me to do these provings. However, we often also use
other people’s new provings, such as Ozone and the AIDS nosode.

One interesting thing we have discovered is
that AIDS is a very neurological disease. The early symptoms are often herpes
zoster, followed by numbness and possibly dementia. This is not common
knowledge but it was confirmed to me by one of the top AIDS consultants in the
area. Another interesting connection is how fungal this disease is. My feeling
is that fungus lies at the very base of this epidemic, hence our frequent use
of my proving of Cryptococcus neoformans. But this is a long lecture, so I will
leave it for another time.

You should
also know that AIDS is not the disease it used to be. Twenty years ago, death
came quickly, perhaps in six months to two years. The pneumonias were deadly,
the cancers and fungi spread rapidly and the body emaciated to a stick. Of
course, we still see this but it is much slower now. What was acute has now
become chronic. The intervention of ARVs (anti-retroviral medication) has
changed the game. Patients live longer and can survive for many years, provided
they have food. Hence the epidemic is fast becoming a miasm.

Let us talk
about ARVs. As you know we do not take anyone off ARVs. Our policy is one of strict
non-interference with regard to conventional medicine. There is a danger that
if one stops ARVs, the virus will rapidly mutate, and here lies the problem.
There is no doubt that ARV medication prolongs PLWHA lives. I have heard that
in the USA some people are so confident about this that they have ‘AIDS
parties’ designed to deliberately acquire AIDS; easier to live with it than
without it. This phenomenon has now begun in South Africa too, after the
announcement of various allopathic ‘wonder drugs’ that have yet to materialise.
While patients in the west have access to 15 or more lines of ARVs, however, here
there is a maximum of two. Once these stop working, and eventually they do,
there is nothing more that can be done and the result is treatment failure and
most probably death.

The problem
is with the side effects. I have heard patients in the west describe it as hell.
I have seen patients vomit every time they take a dose of ARV. Here in Africa, patients do not have the luxury of complaining but
they do suffer. These ‘side effects’ are debilitating conditions: numbness, which
is so severe you cannot feel your arms and legs at all, intense itching,
debilitating weakness or horrible nightmares. The big problem, nevertheless,
lies in the long term: “Ten years ago, between 1
percent and 5 percent of HIV patients worldwide had drug-resistant strains.
Now, between 5 percent and 30 percent of new patients are already resistant to
the drugs. In Europe, it's 10 percent; in the U.S., 15 percent.”[1] This virus is very smart, very
dynamic. It adapts quickly, especially when there are irregularities in taking
the medicine, and here in Africa there always
are. When the virus is transferred, it is in the new mutated form, so that long
term it may be a problem waiting to explode. Add to this the fact that
hospitals are often chaotic: wrong diagnoses and mistaken prescriptions are
constant occurrences.

For now
ARVs are free. But the budget from the west has dropped by 25-50% in Africa since the recession, and Big Pharma does not give
away freebies. When the money runs out, the virus may have a mutation party and
spread wildly.

There is no
doubt that ARVs do effectively prolong life. One of the astounding things I have
discovered is how homoeopathic they are in their action, like so many other
conventional medicines. They can mimic many of the epidemic symptoms: the
numbness, weakness, black tongue, dull vision, lack of appetite, fevers, and so
on.

Other
problems include hunger. To take ARVs you need to eat regularly five times a
day. It demands a strict lifestyle. This is not an option here. Food and money
are scarce, so side effects and treatment failures due to poor compliance abound.
Not everyone is on ARVs; some refuse to take them, others will not go to the clinics
due to the stigma attached, and many have too high a CD4 count to justify
medication. If you want to know more about these subjects, I recommend you read
Stephanie Nolan’s ’28 stories of AIDs in Africa’. She is a bit ARV-happy but it is still a
very informative read. You could also watch the film ‘House of Numbers’, from which you will learn that no one can agree
on what this disease is really about.

We survive
on very little, enough to get by from month to month. Most of our funding comes
from our own savings and the wonderful homoeopaths and patients who help with
what they can – thank you dear friends! As yet, there is no money from the big
guys and it is unlikely to come. One rich donor, however, could sort this out,
as what is needed is not a huge budget. Money for research, a school,
infrastructure, spreading the word. So, if you know anyone wealthy have a word
with them. Every penny goes a long way here.

Next week Homoeopathy For Health in Africa is
taking part in the Kilimanjaro Marathon. Only the five kilometre version. We
have ten people on our team, all with our T-shirts, and a lot of good will.
People often ask me if I plan to climb the Kili, not me; it’s too cold and too
high! But when I see it every morning, I remember that we have a bigger
mountain to climb. Our mission is:

Ø To treat as many AIDS patients as
possible, using classical homoeopathy.

Ø To create a self-sustainable and
self-perpetuating infrastructure for homoeopathy in Africa.

Ø To find the genus epidemicus for
AIDS.

Ø To help spread this knowledge and
the use of homoeopathy throughout Africa.

Ø To help prove homoeopathy to the
world.

So not too
much, hey! But we are on the way.

What a shame
that the governments of developing countries do not promote homoeopathy more.
It is the perfect medicine for developing countries and the perfect medicine for
AIDS: no side effects, cheap and, most importantly, incredibly efficient. AIDS,
however, is big business in Africa and nobody
likes people who meddle in big business. Still, I am sure we will win.
Homoeopathy will thrive long after our enemies are gone. People love it, it
suits their spirit and their way of life.

I have
attached some cases for you to see, and while you are on the internet, please
check out our movie and slideshow on www.homeopathyforhealthinafrica.org. Make
sure you turn the volume on the slideshow up high, your kids will love the
song!

Many people
are surprised when they see the picture of Africa
turned upside down. Some even turn their head when looking at it but as you and
I know, nothing is really upside down when looked at from space, it is merely a
prejudice. This discrimination has always kept Africa
at the bottom of our concept of the world. Camilla once said, It’s like a man
with gangrene of the legs who thinks he is ok because his head is fine. With this
logo we hope to show and imprint on our consciousness that homoeopathy can turn
things around and reverse the pathological order of the world today. Anyway, it
is much better feng shui to have the arrow pointing up rather than down!

I have been
going on for too long. I wish you all the best in your work and life.

Hi Jeremy!
I recently( 40 days ago) went to a dentist that work as an adviser for global research. ( i found that only after the visit!) Unfortunatly I didn't realised at that time, but I start to feel the symptoms of an infection 5-7 days after that. He was scratching the interior of my mouth , the gum on top of the wisdom tooth on right and left bottom, inside of the mouth on cheeks with a dental pick that was dipped in a small botle , put straight out of a fridge, with a greyish gell like substance.
The symptoms started first in the mouth, a small white patch on the cheek, than, the lymph nodes at the bottom of the jaw and under the ears , slowly the other lymph nodes become inflames, excrutiating pain in the chest in the joints, I never experienced such sort of pain in my life Slowly I started to feel dizzy, puky, sleep porblems, fever, night sweats.
I was studying homeopathy along the way, I had different health problems in past, and the normal medicine didn't help me. At that time I decided to try to help myself so, here I am now.
This time though, I didn't find the cure for my problem, but after I studyied I concluded that I was infected with few things like a virus and a fungus.( In this moment I still have a white patch in the mouth on the top of the wisdom tooth, on the gum in the back , that is nothing alse but a fungus that do not go away, not even with baking soda. I also experience dizziness, headache, and sleeping problems still, and some sort of itch in the head on the right side.If I eat swets, sugar the symptoms get worst, with tingling in the fingers, pain in the nerves and intense puking urge. I think I have a fungus , not a virus, or bacteria couse fungal meningitis.
It is popssible to be infected with some virus and bacteria, but I get rid of that. I took Hypericum 1M anfter 1 month, the symoptoms returned in reverse order, till the scratches in the mouth apear again, the only things that are still present are the white fungal infection on the gum in back of the wisdom tooth on the right side, and the head problems . I think i ged rid of virus and bacteria if it was any, but the fungus is still present. So, I was reading about the new proving that you have made with a remedy made out of Cryptococcus neoformans, and I would like to ask you , if you think I can get treated with this for my problem?
I have to excuse myself for the fac, my english is not the best, I'm not a native english speaker, and beside that, I still have problems focusing.
I will really apreciate your help!
Thank you very much!
Cheers!
Selen
Ps. I was also thinking to take malandrinum

training helpersReply #19 on : Tue July 12, 2011, 20:50:18

Our Brazilian colleague, Alexandre Lima asks about training local helpers in Tanzania. Our experience is that it is difficult to do this with people who know nothing about homoeopathy. We have tried a conventional homoeopathy course, without success.
Our approach now is to use the "barefoot doctors" model and we are designing a 3 month beginner course, followed by a Stage 2 course, etc.
We would love to hear about your research and any information you would be able to contribute is welcomed.

Dear Jeremy Sherr and Camila. I am homeopathic pharmacy in Brazil. I read your testimony about the great work done in Africa, especially with respect to Homeopathy and its great performance in AIDS. Congratulations for the heroic work. I got to cry while reading the text. I follow a good distance to the work done by therapists (non-medical) in Angola. The success stories are great! In your text you said has taught homeopathy for some helpers. How is their performance?
I ask this question because I am doing research on the action of homeopathic practitioners (non physician) in Brazil and worldwide. I would like information from you and would like your opinion. I will present the research at the Congress of Minas Gerais on 9 July. Here in Brazil homeopathy is prescribed by doctors, dentists, nurses. It is considered a medical specialty, but not medical exclusively. Here it is free. The roots of homoepatia in Brazil began precisely with the proposal of charity and to reach the needy community.
I would love your help and your opinion.
Fraternal embrace. God bless

Dear Jeremy and Camilla
What wonderful people you are - I have been to Kenya and know so well what you are up against. Many Blessings to you and let the higher conscience in us all keep up your health and strenght to continue your work. Would love to come and help please send info about that. In the meantime, I am sending this link to ALL of my mailing list (935) and sure hope that some of my wealthier friends will contribute. Do you think it would help if you sell bumper stickers for people to buy on you site? I be willing to help with that. I run a Free Pet Food Pantry in my area and help many people/pets with free Remedies. As you know the need here is very great too, many do not have insurance and make 'a dollar' too much for medicare, also sad but not as bad as in Africa. Much love and health to your family.

EYE OPENERReply #16 on : Mon May 30, 2011, 21:10:16

Dear Jeremy and Camilla, I came across your letter just by pure chance and it's been an eye opener for me for two reasons. One is that when I see TV spots on african people without water and children who need help, I feel guilty sitting in my comfortable sofa just looking at them. Secondly, is that my one dream is to go for 1 month to Africa to help whoever. At the same time, I have subscribed to a course in Homeopathy because this is the way I hope to treat my young grandson when the need arises. Reading your letter made me realise I can do all these things together. I wish to remain in contact with you and decide after I have finished my course what to do with your assistance, I hope. I feel I must give something back. I shall also try and find a way to find finance for your project, when I have more information.

In the meantime God Bless You and I hope you find time to write back to me.

With my warmest wishes to you both.
Louise

HomeopathyReply #15 on : Sat May 21, 2011, 20:59:40

Your commitment to liberating Africa from this virus leaves me awe struck Jeremy. The research that you, Camilla and others have accomplished under such dire conditions is astounding. I trust that one day your studies will afford a global affect – ultimately increasing awareness of the healing integrity of homeopathy and changing the face of humanity. I will continue to invite others to learn more about your mission. Blessings, Laura
